The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A short film where most of the story happens outside the frame. People react to unseen events with very little dialogue. It suggests a strange and possibly darker world just beyond what the viewer sees.

What happens
Oh What a Wonderful Feeling is a Canadian short drama film, directed by François Jaros and released in 2016. The film, an experimental drama described by Jaros as one in which he wanted "to have the narrative just outside of the frame; to suggest that there’s a bigger world, a bigger thing and something maybe meaner, more strange happening", largely depicts actions driven by offscreen events and features very little spoken dialogue. The film's cast includes Patrice Beauchesne, Frédérike Bédard, Ellen David, Dany Gange, Catherine Hughes, Tania Kontoyanni, François Lambert, Dominique Laurence, Marguerite Laurence, Louis Negin, Sarah Pellerin, Karelle Tremblay and Zachary Tremblay. The film premiered in the Critics' Week stream at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. The film was a shortlisted Prix Iris nominee for Best Short Film at the 19th Quebec Cinema Awards. At the 5th Canadian Screen Awards, the film was shortlisted for Best Live Action Short Drama. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
